Is ∅ ∈ { {∅} } true?
$begingroup$
If $ {emptyset} ∈ {emptyset,{emptyset}} $ is true, does it mean this $ emptyset in {{emptyset}} $ true ? If it is not, why it is false?
Also, does $ {{emptyset}}$ mean ${emptyset,{emptyset,{emptyset}}}$ ?

$begingroup$
The notation $a in A$ says that among the elements of $A$ there is one element that is exactly equal to $a.$
The notation ${emptyset, {emptyset}}$ describes a set with exactly two elements.
The first element is $emptyset.$ The second element is ${emptyset}.$
Is one of those two elements exactly equal to ${emptyset}$?
The notation ${ {emptyset}}$ describes a set with one element.
That element is ${emptyset}.$
Which element of ${ {emptyset}}$ do you think is exactly equal to $emptyset$?
Hint: there's only one element you have to check.
The notation ${emptyset, {emptyset, {emptyset}}}$ again describes a set with two elements.
One element is $emptyset$ and the other is
${emptyset, {emptyset}}.$
So this is definitely not the same thing as any set that has only one element.
